If we are too focused on what has happened before and expecting the same thing to happen, we will miss the new God has for us. We might have a pre-conceived idea of how God works, but really, God works in mysterious ways. His ways are not our ways. We hav

God has been speaking to me lately about old mindsets. How we view things in life from religion, to practical living, can and will affect our destiny.

The Power Of Positive Thinking

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Sep 12, 2016

Although there are many self-help publications with this title, if an author doesn’t cite God as the source of all positive thought and ability it’s not something I’ll read. The power doesn't come from channeling some unknown energy it comes from God.

In Bounds Or Out Of Bounds?

Contributed by Craig Benner on Sep 14, 2016

Motivated To Follow Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Nov 2, 2016

Following his discourse on the obedience of Christ, and an admonition for the believer to possess the mind of Christ, Paul discusses what that looks like in a mature believer. This is humbling, and impossible within ourselves, but possible in Christ.

Motivated to Follow Philippians 2: 12-18 One of the greatest means of motivation is a great illustration or example. Following the great discourse on the obedience of Christ, having provided the great example for believers to follow, Paul offers a discourse on our obligations to follow the example ...read more

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Dec 16, 2014

Overcoming Heartbreak

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Oct 20, 2022

What do we do when we suffer hurt? How do we overcome past hurts? And how do we do it the way God wants us to? As we look at Romans 12, we will learn from Paul how to overcome hurts, how to be a true child of God and move past the pain.

Romans chapter 12 is where I want to start today. I want to start here because I believe there's something here we constantly overlook when we read part of this chapter. We all know what the first 2 verses say, 1 "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present ...read more
